Looking for fresh ways to play with LEGO® DUPLO® bricks? Even the most unsuspecting everyday object can bring a new lease of life to your little one’s LEGO DUPLO sets. From soft toys, cardboard tubes and towels, exciting new ways to play are just moments away…
Get ready to move mountains! Scrunching up blankets around your child’s play space is an easy way to create a make-believe mountain. Will their LEGO DUPLO figures embark on an ambitious trek? A sightseeing expedition? For added storytelling, write a list with your little one of everything you’ll need to pack for your adventure – don’t forget snacks!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1… craft off! If you’ve got a little adventurer on your hands, why not turn a shoebox into the ultimate glittery galaxy? Paint the inside of the box, add shining stars and a tinfoil moon. Then blast off their LEGO DUPLO space rocket from their LEGO DUPLO city tower to explore their dazzling space scene.
Next time you get a delivery, don’t toss the box into the recycling. Instead, drape a blanket over the top to turn it into the coziest cardboard cave ready for your toddler’s figures to set up a fortress in. Why not add a torch or lamp to make it even more snug? Kids will love bringing their cave to life with a little imagination and a whole lot of fun.
Calling all brave princesses… there’s a knight trapped in a cardboard tube turret waiting to be rescued. Help your little one create a base structure for a magical castle using LEGO DUPLO bricks, then add carboard tubes as turrets. Princess heroine dress optional!
Create a snowy playground for your child’s LEGO DUPLO penguin family with some white pillows or blankets. Add a touch of magic with some cotton wool snow ready to start the beginning of a wonderful winter adventure story.
Watch out, there are lions about! Create the ultimate safari experience using your toddler’s soft toys. Build rocks, trees and caves using LEGO DUPLO bricks and use blankets or towels to create the dream adventure scene. Once you’ve created a wild world, your child’s figures can explore it by LEGO DUPLO car or train. Get ready to snap some photos!
Get raiding your bathroom, because a towel can provide plenty of opportunities for play. Got a nice green bath sheet? That would make perfect rolling hills for your child’s LEGO DUPLO dinosaurs to explore. A nice blue hand towel? That’s a brilliant watering hole for them to stop and drink at. Even a gray towel makes a great base for a LEGO DUPLO city.
Adventure awaits! Head on over to the LEGO DUPLO section of LEGO.com for more tips and tricks to get the most out of your toddler’s playtime.
